Thanks guys, as for the breastfeeding bit I found that as I don't express milk I only feed form the breast that I am called upon every hour or two and it's finding a big enough window to actually ride. I have 2 horses and I have thought of loaning them to local people so I can still see them...

Last night my husband told me that as I am now pregnant again I will have to sell my horses due to the fact I won't be able to ride for at least a year (history of miscarriages and then will be breastfeeding). I understand his point, money isn't great at the moment and they are on part livery. I...

Thanks Jenz, He will actually follow me around the menage after I have ridden and I can even get him to turn away from the gate even though I know he's ready to go back out of the school. It is an amazing feeling and I love doing it, I think perhaps I have lost some of his respect in the...

Thanks guys, I actually only feed treats in a bucket and by treats I meant a little high fibre light.

Interesting point Honey also, he is only grumpy around food, once it's all eaten he reverts back to his other more pleasant personality. I will also bare that in mind, and just give him the space to eat :-)

Oh how funny, yes his name is Duke. He came from a Polo yard and I think food was scarce sometimes. I can't go near him when he's eating which is a pain because I have to wait until he's finished easting before I can brush him or do anything with him. I will definitely give your ideas a try and...

My 8 year old TB gelding is a real sweetie in most ways except around food. If I give him any food in his stable he puts his ears back and tries to bite me. Can anyone offer advice on how to tackle this issue?
